Infants and children

The issue of quality and safety has been widely concerned by the society. As an important mandatory national standard, the promulgation and implementation of the safety technical specification for infant and child textile products will have a significant impact on the entire infant and children's textile and clothing market.

During the pition period, the products that were manufactured and met the relevant standards before June 1, 2016 were allowed to continue to be sold in the market. The testing institutions were tested according to the standards executed by the enterprises.

From June 1, 2018 onwards, all relevant products on the market must meet the requirements of this standard.

"The reason for the pition period is that this standard has greatly increased the demand for baby textile products, and enterprises need a certain time to complete the technical pformation and upgrading.

At the same time, textile products are anti season products, the production and sales cycle is longer, and it takes a certain time to digest inventory. "

It is reported that in order to promote the effective implementation of the standards, the National Standards Committee has organized a series of activities such as standard entry into enterprises, shopping malls, and campus entry. It has organized a series of publicity activities in the main producing areas and sales areas of infants and children's textile products, and carried out standard training to local production, sales enterprises and inspection and testing institutions.
